Chapter 419 The experiment was successful, and controllable nuclear fusion is just around the corner!
Annihilation force field experimental base.
Teacher Xu walked towards the experimental room in the back row in a hurry. Next to him was secretary Xiao Zhang, and several other people were chasing after him.
He was really looking forward to it.
This visit to the experimental base was unplanned. There was no advance notice or preparation at all. I just took the time to fly over.
When he learned that first-order carbon had been produced at the experimental base, Teacher Xu couldn't wait, but he was too busy with work to fly over directly to see it.
He continued working for two days, finishing the matters at hand, before taking time to rush over.
Teacher Xu likes to come to the Annihilation Force Field Experiment Base very much. He is the head of the science and technology department. He always visits various research institutes and experimental institutions. When he visits other institutions, he always cares about the technical level, research and development issues, etc.
wait.
It's different when you come to Wang Hao.
He doesn't need to care about any technical research and development issues, he just comes to look at the research results and look forward to the changes brought about by the new results.
At the same time, you can be proud of the high-end technology you master.
This kind of pride will reach its peak when seeing relevant international reports. For example, when the international community is still talking about 'using first-order elements to develop materials and develop annihilation force field technology', but first-order element materials are all passed through the science and technology department, through
Purchased by Annihilation Technologies.
Isn’t this interesting?
"Maybe this is the pleasure of being crushed by technology..."
"No wonder, when I used to talk to foreigners about technology, they always felt a sense of superiority, but now the sense of superiority belongs to us..."
Teacher Xu thought about it and looked forward to it even more.
A group of them came to the experimental base without notifying them in advance. After they all entered the experimental base, Wang Hao got the news and rushed over, and met Teacher Xu in the experimental room.
Teacher Xu was visiting the strong annihilation force field generation equipment. He just kept looking around the big ball at the center. He also asked Xiang Qiansheng next to him, "After the experiment started, what materials were placed in this big ball?"
Xiang Qiansheng explained, "This ball is a spiral magnetic field generating device. Some materials will be fixed inside the device, and some materials will be placed in the center in advance."
"It still depends on the material."
"For example, some metal materials with fixed shapes can be placed directly in the center, but some gases, liquids, and materials that may be affected and change must be fixed, otherwise the equipment will risk being damaged..."
Teacher Xu nodded after listening.
When he saw Wang Hao approaching, he immediately rushed over to greet him. When he shook hands with Wang Hao, he couldn't wait to ask, "Is the first-order carbon confirmed?"
"confirmed."
Wang Hao nodded and smiled, "I guess you will come over after Secretary Zhang returns, but I didn't expect it to be so soon."
"Your discovery is still too important!" Teacher Xu sighed and continued, "Tell me about this new discovery."
Wang Hao thought for a while and said, "Let's go to the Materials Testing Center together and let Professor Wang and Professor Zhou tell you what they discovered."
"good."
After hearing this, Teacher Xu and Wang Hao went to the Material Testing Center together.
The materials testing center is right next to the experimental base, but the distance to walk there is nearly one kilometer and over five hundred meters.
The two got into the car together and soon arrived at the laboratory of the Materials Testing Center.
Wang Hui is busy in the vacuum laboratory.
Zhou Qing was in another laboratory, but he happened to see Wang Hao when he went out. Then he noticed Teacher Xu next to him, and immediately greeted him with surprise, "Teacher Xu, Academician Wang!"
He smiled and complained, "This is a sudden attack. Academician Wang, you didn't even say hello in advance. We are completely unprepared."
"You can't blame Academician Wang, he doesn't know either."
Teacher Xu explained, "I heard about your discovery and came right away. I came here just to hear about the situation."
Zhou Qing nodded and said, "Please come this way."
He took a group of people to the office, and called Professor Wang Hui, and then said, "We have definitely discovered the first-order carbon element, and we have been doing extraction work these days."
"Similar to the discovery of first-order lithium, the first thing noticed was lithium carbonate, but the magnetization reaction did not decrease much."
"Later we..."
Zhou Qing explained the discovery process.
Teacher Xu listened patiently. After Zhou Qing finished speaking, he asked, "How is the situation now? Is the extraction work going well?"
"...It's hard."
Zhou Qing used two words to describe it.
Seeing the confusion on Teacher Xu's face, Wang Hao explained, "The extraction process is too complicated and the efficiency is very low. Up to now, it is only more than two grams."
"Sometimes, extraction depends on luck. If there is a problem with one step, the extraction will fail and you have to start all over again."
"yes."
"It's really troublesome..."
Zhou Qing and Wang Hui are on the same side.
This is the problem encountered in extracting first-order carbon. They have formulated a detailed extraction plan, and many steps are performed in a vacuum.
Some steps need to be handled manually and require very delicate operations.
If there is a slight deviation during the operation, impurities will be mixed into the material, and all efforts will be in vain.
"Two questions."
Wang Haodao, "One problem is that the equipment is not accurate enough and the efficiency is too low; the second problem is that the first-order carbon content in the raw materials is very low."
"Extracting first-order carbon is more troublesome than first-order iron."
He said and shook his head.
In fact, the difficulty of first-order carbon extraction is similar to that of first-order lithium, except that there are a few more extraction steps and more manual operations are required.
The latter leads to a high failure rate.
But in fact, first-order lithium does not need to be extracted in large quantities. The extraction of elemental lithium is only for experimental research. For applications, magnetized lithium element materials are sufficient.
First order carbon is different.
The application of carbon element is too wide, and the research directions are also very wide, so it must be extracted in large quantities.
The advantage of carbon than lithium is that it can be prepared into a stable element. There are many carbon elements in nature, such as diamond, graphite, fullerene, etc.
The first-order carbon they extracted now is just a kind of mixed amorphous carbon, which is a lot of powdery objects.
If a substance in a stable state cannot be prepared, impurities will definitely be incorporated when exposed to the air, which will affect subsequent experimental research.
Wang Hao asked two questions.
The second point is the equipment environment problem. It is very difficult to improve it. The annihilation force field experimental team has received full support from the superior department. The experimental equipment in the material testing center is also the most sophisticated in the country, and some are still unavailable for the time being.
The imported equipment was moved directly from other laboratories.
Teacher Xu frowned and thought for a moment, then asked, "Can the strength of the annihilation force field be increased?" He was referring to the issue of first-order carbon content.
If the strength of the annihilation force field can be continued to be increased, the content of first-order carbon will no longer be a problem.
Just like first-order iron, it could only be extracted in grams at first, but later it quickly became kilograms.
Wang Hao shook his head, "It's impossible for the time being."
"Why?"
Teacher Xu didn't understand.
"This time it has really reached its limit." Wang Hao continued to shake his head and explained, "Our technology has been improving before, but it has stopped in the past two months."
"Our technology has reached a bottleneck, and it is very difficult to improve it by improving material layout."
"This increase in the force field is due to the effect of the spiral magnetic field, but the magnetic field is also turned to its maximum, and the intensity produced is 8.36."
"It will be impossible in a short time..."
Wang Hao hesitated for a moment before explaining, "If you want to make a big improvement, you must find new materials or make a new theoretical breakthrough."
A big improvement is indeed impossible.
Many experiments have proven that the strength of the annihilation field created by first-order elemental materials is limited, and they can only continue to use high-pressure hybrid materials for the time being.
To continue to improve the annihilation force field, new replaceable materials are necessary.
Teacher Xu thought for a while and said, "In terms of equipment, you list your needs and we will try our best to get them."
After he finished speaking, he asked, "Academician Wang, do you want the new discovery to be made public?"
Wang Hao was stunned when he heard this, "Why do you say that?" He had considered the problems he might encounter when purchasing equipment, and believed that first-order carbon was an important bargaining chip.
Others are not so in-depth.
As for making it public...
Wasn't first-order carbon just discovered? He felt that it would take some time to study before he would consider making the new discovery public.
Teacher Xu coughed lightly.
As the head of the technology department, of course I cannot always focus on profit, but the feeling of selling first-order iron is indeed very good.
He changed the question, "Academician Wang, do you think the discovery of first-order carbon needs to be kept secret? Or, does first-order carbon need to be banned from external sales?"
"That's not necessary."
Wang Hao shook his head and said, "This should not involve the field of confidentiality mentioned in the last meeting. There are only two types of key technologies we have to keep confidential."
One is F-ray.
One is the annihilation force field technology.
First-order carbon materials have nothing to do with F-ray generation technology, and they cannot be used to create high-intensity annihilation force fields, so there is no need to keep them secret.
On the contrary, there are many benefits to disclosure.
Because carbon is widely used, it will involve scientific and technological research and development in many fields. Only by making it public can we promote related research and development and promote scientific and technological development.
If you simply do research in confidentiality, you must do the research with caution and not provide it to any other scientific research institution.
There's no point in doing this.
When the time comes, not to mention the large amount of money invested, because the scale of research and development will be limited, the results and applications will naturally be severely limited.
…
One week later.
Wang Hao returned to Xihai University and went to the Antigravity Behavior Research Center.
The research center is already busy. Their custom-made centimeter-sized granular materials have been delivered and they are ready to start a new anti-gravity experiment.
What they are doing is still AC superconducting antigravity experiments.
What Wang Hao is most looking forward to is DC anti-gravity, but DC anti-gravity is relatively more complicated, and the FCW-031 material may not be effective, and it involves the research of F-rays. Sheng Hailiang's level is not enough. Liao Jianguo's F-rays are needed.
Only team participation is possible.
Now we are just verifying the feasibility of granular materials, or conducting regular anti-gravity property verification.
The laboratory is very busy.
Everyone follows the plan and uses the transported granular materials to build the underlying material structure. The equipment is manufactured bit by bit manually, and the accuracy requirements are relatively high, and the experimental preparation requirements are still very high.
After several days of preparation, the experimental equipment was finally set up.
The next step is to debug each part. After everything goes smoothly, we are officially ready to conduct the experiment.
Sheng Hailiang was responsible for the entire experimental work.
Wang Hao and He Yi just grasped the general direction and waited for the results. They stood together in the data monitoring room and kept looking at the data on the computer.
soon.
The experiment officially begins.
Under the command of Sheng Hailiang, the experiment progressed in an orderly manner. After all the equipment was turned on, the anti-gravity field was successfully created.
Today's technology is already very advanced.
When an anti-gravity field is created above the device, it only takes one second for the specific strength of the anti-gravity field to be measured and sent to the computer.
Wang Hao and He Yi looked at the screen together and saw the numbers on the upper left--
0.8968(10.32%).
He Yi took a deep breath and shouted with surprise, "Success!"
"It used to be only 0.9203, which is about 7%. Now it has increased by nearly 3.3%. It's a big improvement, right?"
Wang Hao was not surprised by the results, but the improved data was still unexpected. He thought and said, "The centimeter-level granular material can be improved by 3.3%. If it is millimeter-level..."
"ten times!"
He Yi shouted subconsciously.
"...Well, that's not the case." Wang Hao tugged at the corner of his mouth to deny. He felt that He Yi was too excited and his thinking no longer followed scientific principles.
He Yi also realized it. He shook his head and said, "It is true that it cannot reach ten times, but there is still hope for it to rise to 20%, right?"
"Of course there is."
Wang Haodao, "This improvement will definitely be affected by the upper limit of materials. We are just using a more refined layout to bring out the role of materials, rather than developing new technologies."
"But the improvement will be huge."
"If it's micron level... it's really impossible in the short term." He shook his head as he said that micron level could only be thought about for the time being.
Even without understanding it in detail, he knew that Seiko's technology had not reached that level.
The current data has been unexpected.
"Now that our idea has been verified, there are two next steps."
"The first is to find experts in nanomaterials and precision manufacturing to discuss the possibility of manufacturing millimeter-level or even finer granular materials."
Wang Hao said to He Yi, "The second is the DC anti-gravity experiment. This requires the cooperation of the F-ray experiment team and must be done at the annihilation force field experiment base."
He was looking forward to it as he spoke.
FCW-031 creates an AC anti-gravity field, and centimeter-scale granular materials can increase the strength from 7% to more than 10%.
If it is millimeter level, the minimum is more than 20%.
So to create a DC anti-gravity field using first-order iron superconducting materials, it only needs to have a strength of more than 5%, and then create millimeter-level granular materials, which is enough to replace the high-voltage mixed materials to produce F-rays.
High-pressure mixed materials, replaced with metal materials...
That will definitely be a huge improvement in F-ray technology!
By then, related technologies can also be used to develop containers that control the occurrence of nuclear fusion. In other words, the time has come to tackle controllable nuclear fusion.
